RJ compares his answer to Menggay's and he gulps.

"Kinakabahan na 'ko," he says.

"Ikaw kasi, ayaw mo na 'ko," she huffs.

"Baka patayin ako ng Tatay mo! Pagkatapos na lang ng kasal ulit."

She looks at him with dagger eyes.

"Humanda ka talaga sa 'kin."

"Looking forward !"

A/N This questionnaire is based on a real questionnaire from a church in Mandaluyong. I just translated it to English.

"Andaman mo guid" translates to "Mag-ingat ka talaga."

But "Humanda ka sa 'kin" reads more like a warning, similar to the Ilonggo sentence so I chose this instead.
